From my life right meow, please :)
This has been the week from HELL. I think it's karma getting me back for missing A's softball game on Monday for a hair appointment. Hey, it was my one bad mom moment of the week, eh I'm allowed (says me).
Tuesday, A had softball practice, it was a scrimmage, parents vs. players, yikes!! I got struck out twice by two 11 year olds, got jacked in the shin with the ball and pulled SEVERAL muscles. Good thing I took my ibuprofen before the game :) I learned the following: I can still throw, I can still catch, I can still get struck out, I can still get walked and I can trash talk a bunch of 6th graders like no body's business. Fun times.
Thursday night, A had another softball practice. I dropped her off and left her getting a ride home with the coach. She gets home and the dog is going crazy barking her fool head off and I hear "mommy, come here." And I'm all, what the? The coach is standing in my doorway explaining that A took another ball to the face, this time the ball bounced off a base and hit her in the mouth. Fat lip and a loose tooth as a result, five minutes later the kid pulls her tooth out. For the love, I'm gonna be all gray by the time I'm 37.
Friday night I took the girls to Hy-Vee for some Chinese. While there, we picked up our father's day cards and a few other groceries...we got to the counter to pay and oops, I forgot my cash card in my coat...at work. SUPER! Good thing I had the checkbook, does anyone write checks anymore?? Embarrassment averted and cash card retrieved we made it home to rest up for the softball tourney the next day.
Saturday, ALL DAY, was spent at the Norwalk ball fields. A's team lost their first game, Bella got kicked out of the park, A's team won the second game and they lost their third game. It was a long, hot day but it was bitter sweet watching the girls play. We made it to our home fields just in time to watch the last half of the nephews game.
Sunday is a lazy day, so I think. I slept in and planned on making the nephews 10a game and that didn't happen, so I plan on making the 2p game (which actually started at 130p). But before I could get in the shower, E comes in the house bawling and no glasses on her face. REALLY?!?! E wrecked her scooter GOOD. She's got road rash on her pretty face, all down her left arm, on her right elbow and all down her right leg. Band-aids soaked in Neosporin and we're semi-good. I look towards heaven and just shake my head....
Today, I actually get up early and am planning on actually being on time for work today when I discover I forgot to set the coffee pot the night before. So, like a TRUE coffee drinker, I pour some coffee in a glass and proceed to put said glass in to the microwave. Yeah, slipped outta my hand and landed all over the microwave, all over the counter below, all over the floor and all over me. Are you testing me today?? Mess cleaned up 30 minutes later and of course I'm late for work, rats.
Tonight, I'm getting ready to do laundry and the washer doesn't work. I mean, really, I can't make this shit up. I called in reinforcements (BIL T) and we fix it...for a load. I call Maytag who tells me that I'm out of my warranty, really? Good f'ing thing I bought the extended warranty, take that Maytag....oh I have to call someone ELSE?? Super. Appointment set (sometime between 12-5 on Thursday) and my washer is still broke, mom is doing my laundry (thanks mom) and dad and I are having words :) Oh, while trying to fix the washer problem, I blow a bunch of breakers in the house and dad had to drop whatever he was doing and come to my rescue...he had a few words with my breaker box while I had a few words with J, and they weren't nice. I'm calling it a night so I can start fresh in the morning....tomorrow is another day, and it could be better than today, right?? That's what I'm hoping for :)
It's good to be me...thanks for checking in.
